    I am more pleased than you can possibly imagine to be able to announce my
    successor as the official maintainer of the LambdaMOO server code:

    	Erik Ostrom <eostrom@research.att.com>

    Erik is better known in some circles as Joe_Feedback, Geust, or Joe; he's been
    hacking MOO for many years, was a prominent wizard on LambdaMOO, and is one of
    the founders and leaders of JHM (aka JaysHouseMOO).  He is easily qualified to
    take over the reins of LambdaMOO server maintenance; I sincerely hope that you
    will all be as nice to and supportive of him and you have been for me over the
    past 6-3/4 years.  He deserves it and, I dare say, LambdaMOO deserves it.

    ...

    I always thought it would be easy and joyous to write this letter, but to my
    vast surprise, it's not that at all.  The LambdaMOO server has been a major
    part of my life for a long time now, and everything it's led to has profoundly
    and permanently changed that life.  Many of you have been an important part of
    that transformation and, for that, I am enormously grateful to you.  Thank you
    all very much for travelling this far along the MOO road with me; I hope the
    rest of the journey is as rewarding for you as the first part has been for me.

    I'm off to other things now, but rest assured: unless something goes really
    wrong, you should be hearing more from me in the future.  In the meantime, take
    care, help Erik, and work together to add more proud chapters to MOO's history.

    Thanks again,

    	Pavel
